Jesmond Central is anchored by Woolworths, Dan Murphy’s and Big W (the only discount department store within the total trade area), along with specialty retail and non-retail offerings. The centre is an enclosed modern shopping centre over two levels with quality finishes and excellent customer amenities. A major $7m upgrade took place in 2025, introducing Dan Murphy’s to the centre, as well as improvements to shelter and comfort at the bus stop, refreshed amenities including a new parent room, upgrades to the dining precinct Eat Street and refreshed facade and entry statements.

The Centre benefits from its proximity to the Newcastle CBD and is strategically positioned in the heart of major employment hubs, with the University of Newcastle located some 1km to the north of the Centre and John Hunter Hospital located approximately 3km to the south the centre. It is adjacent to major bus interchange with regular services to Newcastle CBD and University of Newcastle, and there is easy car access to Newcastle CBD via A15 Newcastle Link Road and Sydney CBD via M1.

There is a significant student base within proximity to the shopping centre with the University of Newcastle’s main campus. A proportion of student retail expenditure is likely to be directed to Jesmond Central.
